Building Distributed Systems with Riak Core

Riak Core is the battle-hardened library that powers the popular open-source distributed key/value store Riak. Not many people are aware of how easily it can be used outside Riak to power your own horizontally scalable Erlang applications, be they session storage, message routing, or distributed computation.

Format: Full-day tutorial

This course explores the practical aspects of implementing such applications. Goals:

• Introduce participants to riak_core and provide an overview of its general characteristics and architecture
• Demonstrate the use of rebar3 in building modern riak_core based projects
• Demonstrate implementation considerations
• Enable you to determine if riak_core is right for your application
• Demonstrate how webmachine can be used to integrate with riak_core
• Build and take away your own riak_core application by the end of the day
